I like the new mailer a lot.  It's a big improvement over the 4.05 one.

No, but instead I suggest you download 4.08. It fixes some security bugs,
that exist in 4.5 (yes, 4.08 is made after 4.5, that may sound a bit
strange :-)

It allows multiple IMAP mailboxes, not multiple POP boxes (it might allow
one IMAP and one POP).  It does not support multiple outgoing addresses.

I suppose focusing on IMAP support sounds weird; but there's a reason: 4.5
is meant to be an enterprise-strength mailer, and big companies are moving
to IMAP.  In theory.  Me, I run fetchmail to pull mail down from my ISP's
POP server, and then run imapd locally so I can read mail from the Linux
box, from my Mac, or from work.
